Like Pizza, Hate Home, Miss Girl - History of Pop Punk by benpaco

Alright, so this is a work in progress by all means. If you have any "But Ben, there's this obscure 1979 comp of pop punk" or "But Ben, you forgot Taking Back Sunday!" (which I actually did on the first draft of this), just leave it below or something.

There are more albums for later years mostly because there were more albums released those years - in 1978, you've got maybe 10 pop punk records coming out if you really scour, whereas in 1995, you've go WAY more.

Because I'm trying to do fair representations one year at a time, if you're interested in what cool is currently happening in pop punk, skip to the very end. If you're interested in the roots, start at the start.

The Ramones are the roots of the genre that are removed enough from it I can't find it in my heart to include them.

The first pop punk I ever heard was a CD my close friend made me when I moved. It contained "Ocean Avenue", "Vertigo", "Wake Me Up When September Ends", and a 4th song forever lost in time.

The following are super important bands that I just couldn't find a place for on here:

Crimpshrine
The Ataris
Pansy Division
Isosine
I'm sure there are TONS more I'm forgetting, this list will grow.

Again, a little more experimental than other stuff going on, and I think the album cover sums it up pretty well - if a British Joker made pop punk. [First added to this chart: 01/10/2016]

This is really more of a hardcore punk album than pop punk, but if you listen to it, you can hear what they were picking up from some of the early pop punk stuff, and definitely what they left for late 80s pop punkers. Additionally, they were one of the early bands to play 924 Gilman and establish it as a punk club - that'll be really important. [First added to this chart: 01/10/2016]

Awesome chart. Love seeing Motion City Soundtrack get some recognition (since they're one of my favorite bands and I think they're really underrated within the genre). I saw them with Sorority Noise earlier this year, who were also fantastic, so seeing that album here is great as well. Not to mention, you covered the foundation of pop punk quite well.

Wonderful work, Ben. Have you listened to the new album by The Wonder Years? Definitely my favorite from them. Being a massive fan of theirs for the past few years, it has made me more excited about the genre now than ever before.
